‘I mean, it’s legal, right?’ Musk reportedly asked before smoking the joint.
Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk made quite a bold move when guesting on Joe Rogan’s podcast on Thursday, smoking marijuana as he and the comedian and mixed martial arts commentator talked about a variety of mostly tech-related topics.
As recapped by BBC News and The Guardian, Rogan offered Musk a puff from his joint midway through the podcast, with the tech entrepreneur asking the following question before taking a drag.
“I mean, it’s legal, right?”
Aside from sharing a joint on the live podcast, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan also drank whiskey during their conversation, with the 47-year-old billionaire commenting that alcohol “is a drug.”

With Elon Musk and Joe Rogan winding things down for the night, the Tesla and SpaceX founder closed his appearance by encouraging people to be “nicer to each other.”
“Give more credit to others and don’t assume they’re mean until you know they’re actually mean. It’s easy to demonize people, you’re usually wrong about it, people are nicer than you think,” said Musk.
